A SHADY TRANSACTION.
A Sale of Condemned Government Goods
Managed. in the Interest of Naval officers.

New YORK, Aug. 30-A large collection of
condemned supplies was sold at the Brooklyn
navy-yard to-day. The Brooklyn Standard
Union publishes an extended article in regard
to it, in which it claims that the sale was man
aged in the interest Of ring of naval officers;
that catalogues Of the goods were generally un-
obtainable by intending purchasers; that the Of
fcials in charge were by no means ready to give
information; that, when they did so. it was
sometimes misleading, and that much OF the
property advertised was not put up for sale at
all. but was carried away by friends of the
officers. In this connection the paper asserts
that there was one lot from the equipment de-
partment made up of 267 pieces of silverware of
every description; that this morning the wife of
Naval Constructor Pook came to Ghe
building with an order from Pay
Director john Fl. Stevenson, who had
entire charge of the sale; that
it directed Bernard McNulty, the clerk in charge
of the goods. to let Mrs. PooB- have whatever
she wanted, and that there was nothing for the
clerk to do but comply. The Standard Union
asserts that Mrs. Pook selected from this lot Of
silverware and from a lot of china in the same
building the following articles, which she had
carried away: Two sugar bowls, two baking
dishes, : half dozen table spoons. one half dozen
dessert spoons. six vegetable dishes,
half-dozen teaspoons, six table and dessert
forks, one fish slicer, one cream scraper. twelve
nut pickers, two nut crackers. twelve table and
dessert knives, four baking dish Innings one
ladle, one sauce boat ard stand, gravy dish,

twelve tea saucers. twelve after dinner coffee
saucers, eight meat dishes, fish dish, four
vegetable dishes. one water pitcher, two cream
ewers. twelve breakfast plates. twelve dinner
plates twelve bread plates, four fruit baskets
and twelve egg cups. The paper de-
clares that it openly asserted at the
sale that this not the only instance OF the
kind, and that, in addition, the really valuable
things sold were bought by the alleged ring for
Inadequate sums. The Standard Union also
publishes interview with Clerk McNulty,
who says the statement of things taken by Mrs.
Pook is correct, and that of the 287 pieces in the
lot orr ginay less than hundred were left
for sale McNulty added that he had a COM

DEMOCRATS AND THE TARIFF.
Brisk Fight Between the Randall and Scott
Factions for Control in Pennsylvania.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Aug. 30-It appears likely
that the Demo mocratic State convention will meet
tomorrow at noon without definite settlement
of the vexed question whether Mr.. Randall will
be able to control its deliberations and adopt as
the party declaration on the tariff the resolutions
adopted by the Chicago national convention in
1884. or whether Congressman Scott and Mr..
Slneerly, of the Philadelphia Record, will be
able to commit the party to the more pronounced
utterance of President Cleveland in favor of
reform of the tariff. ALI other issues have been
for the moment cast aside, while
battle royal upon this question has
been waged by leaders and delegates.
Mr.. Randall was early on the ground. and this
morning took possession of rooms at the Hotel
Allen. whore he has been assisted by Congress
man Sogden. Governor Curtin and others all
day long in work among the delegates. At
o'clock Congressman Scott and Mr.. Singerly ar
rived, and the fight soon became as interesting
any could desire. The point of vantage
which the opposing elements sought TO COM
mand WAS the control of the committee on reso-
lutions, which, 1t was understood, was to hold
the KEY to the situation in the conven-
saan ser Of n're this co@m,tss fsan eses
senatorial district in the State,
fifty in all. The fight for members of tho COM
mittee resolutions was protracted far into
the night, with what result 1T is impossible to
say definitely. The Randall people claim
thirty-three of the fifty members, and the tar
if reform people say that the count stands four
teen for Randall and the Chicago plank, twenty
two for Endorsement of the Presidents views
the platform and fourteen doubtful Conser-
vative observers of the contest VINO know
good deal of what is going say that the
figures stand nineteen for each of the contesting
elements and twelve doubtful.
Mr.. Randall said at midnight that his friends
proposed to stand for reaffirmation of the Chi
cago platform of 1884 pure and SIMPLE including
its tariff plank and its denunciation of all
sumptuary legislation, and to heartily ndorse
President Cleveland's administration. The Re-
publican State administration is to be denounced
for its failure to- keep pledges made, and
pecially for the failure of the State revenue bill.
The Democratic State platform of 1886 is also
to be reafirmed, and demand made that the
surplus in the federal treasury be at once
duced, leaving the utterance of the Chicago
platform to determine in what manner and
der what restrictions the reduction is to be
made.
Ex-Congressman George w. Post, of Susoue-
hama, is to be temporary chairman and ex-Sel-
ator S. P. Peal, of Lockhavep, permanent chair
man of the convention. Mr.. Scott and Mr..
Randall held a conference at a late hour, at
which it is reported that a compromise
effected by which portion of President Ceve-
lands message interpreting the tariff plank of
the platform of 1854 would be added to the
reafirmation of the Chicago platform.
